Phoenix employees, family
and friends were part of over
17,000 local residents who
participated in the Phoenix "Race
for the Cure." The 5km walk/run
was a benefit for the Susan G.
Kormen Breast Cancer Research
Foundation.
With temperatures in the 90-
degree range, walkers and runners
battled the warm weather and hot
pavement to raise money for such
a good cause.
The O'Neil-designed T-shirts
included the W.E. Care phrase
along with the pink ribbon that has
become the national icon for this
fundraiser.
The project was initiated and
orchestrated by Allison Suriano,
Project Manager with O'Neil, who
